It was a good year for logging
It was a perfect day for hot dogs, s'mores, and an extra long
lunch break.
Ike Friesen takes a moment to "brag" on his workers.
"I enjoy working in the forest more all the time, especially if
I have my own wood to cut." -Abe Eberly
Lily Friesen was no stranger to the mud puddles, falling in
at least once, but happy to try them out again.
Jeff Friesen reads off the stats from the harvester's computer, including total trees cut and who's the fastest.
It's not every day you get to take your family to work.
Ike Friesen hops in the forwarder to see who can transport
the empty bucket from post to post in the fastest time.

Whereas the cut and skid system incorporates 4 machines

split into 2 shifts, which left
Ike and Jeff often working in
the dark. It's not favoured by
the majority of logging companies in the area, but it is the
preferred way of wood harvesting in places such as Finland, Ireland, and Sweden.
This kind of change is exactly what Ike expected when
Jeff became partner. "Now it's
all about the next generation."
Whether it's new equipment or
buying land with trees that
won't be ready for production
for another 20 years, young
workers mean forward thinking.
Ten years ago, Ike wasn't
sure if he could move forward

this area. He took his wife and
youngest son and headed west.
"Bonita and I went to Alberta
looking to see if there was
something else we wanted to
do. Not necessarily away from
logging, but the logging had its
tough times here." Since his return it's been full speed ahead.
Except of course, when the
machines need fixing, which
happens frequently. When I
marvelled at the amount of
maintenance that was incurred,
Jeff had to remind me that the
bush is not a highway, it's
tough on the machines. And
the people, too.
Ike recalls an especially cold
day this winter where the day
shift reported troubles. He's the
oldest guy and yet somehow
the group decided he would
be the one to climb underneath
the forwarder. Sure enough,
there was a leak. After 2 hours
of trying to fix it, with an aggressive west wind keeping
him company, he decided it
wasn't that big of a deal. He'd
wait for a warmer day to fix it.
"I was pretty cold by the end of
that evening, I'll tell ya."
Although the winters can be
rough, you couldn't find a more
cheerful bunch than Aspen's
workforce. That includes Ike
himself, who's glad to call the
bush his office. "I enjoy going
to work just about every day of
my life. Still do."
Pete Fuhrer, who has been in
the logging industry for 18
years, has a few things to be
thankful for. "I was able to be
home every night this winter
which doesn't happen every
year if you're logging. That's
been a huge bonus. I've been
enjoying running these machines and working for these
guys."
Somewhere in between those
9,000 cords, they decided to
have a little fun.
Kris Esselink agrees. He runs
a camp in the summer but has
worked for Aspen for 7 years.
"It's a good winter job; jokes all
day and the radio's always
lively."
What he doesn't know
though, is that the radio would
be even more entertaining if he
could hear what was going on
in Pete's cab. After a little prodding, Pete proudly admits he's
a bit of a vocalist. "Oh definitely some days I'm singing
some tunes. Anything from
some good old country music
like-they-used-to-make-it-butdon't-anymore to some contemporary Christian music. Every
once in a while I glance up to
look at my 2-way to make sure
that my mic isn't stuck so I'm
not broadcasting."
It's bound to happen one of
these days. But Pete's nearly
off the hook for another year, as
he'll soon transition to flying
planes for the summer.
Abe Eberly, one of Aspen's
contracted truck drivers, has
plans for the new season as
well. "Once we're done for the
spring I'll get my books ready
for the accountant and then I'm
going to cut my firewood and
saw logs, do some hobby
stuff."
After lunch, Ike rounded up
everyone to thank them for
their hard work. Jeff rattled off
some statistics that he collected
from the harvester's computer.
"They're not necessarily accurate, but it might be interesting."
But if the results are accurate,
the whole team cut close to
9,000 cords from private land
since September 17.
Someone tell Pete his singing
paid off, because this season
ended on a good note.

From the house submitted by John Rafferty M.P.
They call it a “break week”
for parliament but they really
shouldn’t. This week I was
back in our constituency and
beyond to work on the Ring of
Fire, study a new report on the
expensive and wasteful Conservative income splitting proposal, and to start my
consultations on the pension
file.
As I hinted at a week or two
ago I spent a full day touring
several communities in and
around the Ring of Fire with
Howard Hampton as we work
on a plan to finally get the development of this massive
project underway. During our
trip Howard and I spoke with
First Nation Chiefs, band managers and other residents to
discuss their ideas and concerns regarding this development. We learned about the
infrastructure needs of these
communities and the concerns
they have about revenue sharing among other important issues. Unfortunately, the
itinerary for our trip was
trimmed back a bit due to
some scheduling issues, but
we hope to make another trip
in the near future to continue
our work.
This past week the Parliamentary Budget Officer
(PBO), Jean-Denis Fréchette,
also issued a report on the
Conservatives’ income splitting scheme, and to no one’s
surprise it was found to be
very expensive and of no benefit to the vast majority of
Canadian families and individuals. This Conservatives’ income splitting proposal will
only be available to parents
who live together with children at home, and will allow
up to $50,000 to be transferred
from the income of the higher
earning spouse to the lower
earning one, which should reduce the taxes that both pay.
It sounds good (great even)
until you read the fine print,
which is exactly what the PBO
did for his report.
There were four major findings of the PBO report, and
they were; just 15% of Canadians households (less than
600,000 households out of 13
million) will even qualify, it
will cost more than $2.2 billion per year, the richest 80%
of families who do qualify will
receive most of the benefits,
and it will actually result in
about 7,000 jobs being lost in
the Canadian economy because it will provide an incentive for lower earning spouses
to leave the workforce. You
can read the PBO report in its
entirety
at:
http://tinyurl.com/PBO-IncomeSplitting.
Are you single? Have the
kids grown up and moved out?
Are both parents working and
making roughly the same
amount of money? Are both
parents unemployed? Are you
and/or your spouse a senior
citizen? If you answered ‘yes’
to any of these questions then
your household will receive
nothing from this plan. For our
part, New Democrats will continue oppose this scheme because we think that the federal
government should be using
this money to increase health-
Moos by Kim Jo Bliss
care funding, improve veterans’ services, or to provide a
tax break that helps many,
many more Canadians. As our
economy struggles under this
Conservative government’s
watch we simply can’t afford
grandiose promises that will
only help the richest few and
result in job losses for the rest.
Finally this week our pension
consultations got underway
with several meetings. Our
meetings this week consisted
of teleconferences with the
Canadians Association of Retired People (CARP), the
Canadian Labour Congress
(CLC), and UNIFOR all of
whom represent thousands of
constituents in our riding and
hundreds of thousands of others across Canada. Each of
these groups supported increasing the contributions and
payments under the Canada
Pension Plan (CPP) if they are
phased in over a number of
years, restoring the retirement
age to 65 from 67, and increasing the Guaranteed Income
Supplement (GIS) which helps
low income seniors. There
were other interesting ideas
that I will share later, but this
was a good start to our spring
consultations which continue
next week.
As you can see, and in spite
of it being called a “break
week,” a lot was accomplished
and significant progress was
made on some key files. Next
week I head back to Ottawa
where I expect things will only
get busier in the lead up to the
coming federal budget.
This is my last week as a
full-time farmer so I have a
long list of things that I would
like to accomplish. I am
mostly looking forward to
having a pay-cheque once
again but do dread the rush,
rush that seems to happen
when you are working, farming and just experiencing life.
I have been tackling some
spring cleaning and de-cluttering and I tell you that is a great
feeling! I have been targeting
2 rooms a day - and finally
down to just kitchen, living
room & basement. I hate to
admit that even my “dyson”
was choking on all the dog
hair that piled up under my
bed....and I regularly try to
clean that up. I packed up a
few bags of clothes that I had
stored too long. It seems we
wear the same outfits over and
over again and it is so easy to
do laundry that you do not
need to have closets full of
clothes. I spend most of my
time in “barn clothes” and no
one sees me or cares if I wear
the same sweatshirt or jeans
back to back.
Maddie’s first “cow-love”
went to the abattoir last week.
Since they spent their March
many young faces who've seen
too much and are looking for
an escape. "Around here addiction is a really big problem. I know that [Theo] has
struggled with that. Coming
back from all the challenges
he's had, setting a good example for the kids, that's one of
the main things I liked about
him," says Hilary Morrisseau,
one of the event's facilitators.
There will be a chance to meet
Theo and have him sign autographs and take pictures.
If that's not enough to entice
you to come, there will be a
floor hockey tournament.
Theo will be dropping the
puck at 6 pm so come out and
show off your skills to one of
the pros. The floor hockey
tournament is open to all ages.
Lunch and supper are provided and all activities will
take place at the Couchiching

Highway clearing contract up
This Is A Test
MPP Sarah Campbell on the cancellation of Transfield Services area
maintenance contract in the Kenora and Rainy River Districts
"My heart goes out to the
employees and their families
who will be affected by the
change of area maintenance
provider. Whereas last winter
each of my community offices
was flooded with concerns and
complaints expressed by people from across the northwest
about the poor maintenance
levels, slow response times
and resulting poor road conditions, by all accounts Transfield maintained the highways
to a much better standard this
winter. Now we are left with
the uncertainty of who will be
providing the services next
There are no ends to the distractions - and the cheating - that ensues during Alan's midterm.
winter and whether this new
contractor will be familiar
with the challenges of maintaining highways in this area.
The Ministry of Transportation has not said whether serious concerns having to do
with the deficiencies of the
area maintenance contracts
will be addressed or whether
other reforms will be made. I
still believe there is value in
creating a select committee
which would be comprised of
MPPs of all three political parties and would examine the
problems associated with winter highway maintenance so
that we fully understand the
problems associated with the
delivery of this essential service. Without taking a step back
and listening to the public, industry experts, the ministry
and area contractors, we won't
fully know all of the reforms
that will need to be made to
ensure consistently high quality service each year. It is unfortunate that this private
member’s motion I proposed
last Spring received all-party
support but was not formed by
the Liberals."
Science Matters by David Suzuki
It’s time to end the grisly trophy hunt
Once the class agrees that cheating really only hurts the person who cheats, the girl in the
back row promptly raises the sign 'Hurt me more', desperate for answers.
The thoughts in Alan's head go from bad to worse. "Your life is dull, duller, dullsville.

Responsible Travel and Raincoast Conservation conclude
revenue from bear-viewing is
far higher than revenue from
grizzly hunting.
Grizzly population health is
an indicator of overall ecosystem health, and bears are important
to
functioning
ecosystems. They help regulate
prey such as deer and elk,
maintain forest health by dispersing seeds and aerating soil
as they dig for food, and fertilize coastal forests by dragging
salmon carcasses into the
woods. Hunting isn’t the only
threat. Habitat loss, decreasing
salmon runs, collisions with vehicles and other conflicts with
humans also endanger grizzlies. Because they have low
reproduction rates, they’re
highly susceptible to population decline. Hunting is one
threat we can easily control.
According to polls, almost 90
per cent of B.C. residents oppose hunting grizzlies for trophies, including many First
Nations and food hunters. Scientists say it’s unsustainable.
The Coastal First Nations
coalition has banned grizzly
hunting in its territories, but the
government doesn’t recognize
the ban. The Raincoast Conservation Foundation has bought
hunting licences in an attempt
to reduce bear kills on the
coast.
Simply put, most British
Columbians — and Canadians
— are against the grizzly trophy hunt. It’s time for the government to listen to the
majority rather than industry
donors and ban this barbaric
and unsustainable practice.

hunting have since shrunk their
range by more than half. In
Canada, 16 subgroups are on
the brink of extinction, including nine in south-central B.C.
and Alberta’s entire grizzly
population.
Just how many bears reside in
B.C. is in dispute. The government claims more than 15,000
grizzlies live here, but Raincoast Conservation Foundation
science director Chris Darimont, a University of Victoria
conservation biologist, puts the
number closer to the government’s earlier estimate of 6,600
— before it doubled that in
1990 based on a single study in
southeastern B.C.’s Flathead
area.
According to a Maclean’s article, in 2000, the government
“suppressed the work of one of
its own biologists, Dionys de
Leeuw, for suggesting the hunt
was excessive and could be
pushing the bears to extinction.
De Leeuw was later suspended
without pay for having pursued
the line of inquiry.” The government then pursued a fiveyear legal battle with groups
including Raincoast Conservation and Ecojustice to keep its
grizzly kill data sealed.
Allan Thornton, president of
the British Environmental Investigation Agency, which has
studied B.C. grizzly management since the late 1990s, is
blunt about the government’s
justification. “The British Columbia wildlife department
does not use rigorous science,”
he told the Vancouver Observer. In 2004, the European
Union banned imports of all
B.C. grizzly parts into member
countries after its analysis
found the hunt to be unsustainable.
Even the economic case is
shaky. Studies by the Centre for

participating in the play.
Maybe it's a pure adrenaline
kick - most of the cast has
never been on stage before!
"Seeing that potential in [the
kids]" become more evident
with each rehearsal was the director's favourite part of the
process. They're sharp and
witty and well, adorable.
The entire play was pieced
together by young minds, including the director who is just
17 years old. Declan Lowthian
said that while he's more interested in acting himself, he's
glad to direct a play to keep
the community theatre momentum going. "I love theatre.
The fact that I'm directing
something means I can ensure
something's happening. I like
being involved."
If you're thinking that you or
your own child might be interested in community theatre,
take heed from Declan's
words. "I think acting builds
the ability to relate to people.
If you can find something in [a
script] that you can relate to,
then you can find something in
a person that you can relate to.
That's an important life skill."
And couldn't we all use another life skill?

him. I have the main character's jerky, outrageous reactions replaying in my mind.
He exaggerated facial expressions and some of the best
parts of the show.
In the play, poor Alan Lefenfeld (played by David Griffith)
stayed up all night to study for
a midterm. He didn't sleep a
wink. And now, he knows 2
answers - both of them prove
to be useless. But as the plot
thickens, Alan's inner thoughts
become part of the reality. It's
a midterm of his worst nightmares - we can relate. At one
point he jumps off a cliff of
mental instability and yells,
"I'm an orphan!" He is, in fact,
not an orphan. But without a
sympathetic character to nurture him, you can't help but
agree with him.

Watching grizzly bears catch
and eat salmon as they swim
upstream to spawn is an unforgettable experience. Many people love to view the wild
drama. Some record it with
photos or video. But a few want
to kill the iconic animals — not
to eat, just to put their heads on
a wall or coats on a floor.
The spring grizzly kill starts
April 1 and extends for several
weeks, followed by a second
fall season. By year’s end, several hundred will have died at
the hands of humans, close to
90 per cent shot by trophy
hunters — many of them foreign licence-holders, as the
B.C. government plans to enact
new regulations to allow
hunters from outside B.C. to
take 40 per cent of grizzlies
slated for killing. The government also plans to allow foreign interests and corporations
to buy and run guide-outfitting
territories previously run only
by B.C. residents. Local hunting organizations say the new
rules put them at a disadvantage.
According to the Vancouver
Observer, hunting guide associations donated $84,800 to B.C.

2013, 84 per cent to the B.C.
Liberals.
In the controversy over regulatory changes, we’ve lost
touch with the fact that the grizzly trophy hunt is horrific, regardless of whether bears are
killed by resident hunters or
big-game hunters who pay
thousands of dollars for the
chance to kill a bear here —
often because it’s illegal in their
home countries.

Since Hope was taken to
Bear With Us Sanctuary, she's
received first class care. She is
recovering, but is still unable
to move her back legs. The
care takers at the sanctuary,
along with Dr. Sherri Cox, are
unsure if she will ever be able
to walk again.
Mike McIntosh posted this
statement on the sanctuary's
Facebook page. "All in all
Hope's progress is slow, however there is progress. Spinal
cord damage/nerve damage is
slow to heal. We are cautiously
optimistic that Hope will continue to get better." Even
though she is not able to move
her rear legs, her sensitivity to
touch has increased dramatically.
On nice days, Mike will
leave the door to Hope's room
open so that she can look outside, and even be motivated to
move. Hope's meningitis
(which caused the paralysis)
has been cured and they are
weaning her off the pain medication.
Mike admits that Hope has a
wild bear attitude that sometimes makes it hard to care for
her. She has opinions of her
own about what kind of treatment she would like to receive, so they have to tread
softly. Her front legs and overall strength have increased
enough to make her a danger
to someone if they weren't
paying attention.
Mike is doing his best to
make sure she is comfortable,
while at the same time trying
to rehabilitate her. No one
knows what the future holds
for Hope, but if she doesn't
fully recover, it won't have
been for lack of effort. Everyone is rooting for her.
For more updates and even
videos about Hope's progress
please visit the Bear With Us
Sanctuary and Rehabilitation

On March 26, 2015 Grade 10
students at Atikokan, Fort
Frances and Rainy River High
Schools will write the Ontario
Secondary School Literacy
Test (OSSLT). Passing the
OSSLT is a prerequisite for
obtaining an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. The test
covers foundational literacy
skills including reading comprehension and the ability to
write in a variety of styles.
To prepare for the formal test
on March 26, participating students have been working on
scheduled practice assignments and participating in a
practice test. Those students
who need accommodations
will also undertake the simulation in the same way as they
would on the actual test day.
As part of the ongoing work of
the Rainy River District
School Board to ensure that
students have the essential literacy skills, all students in
Grades 7 to 9 will be working
on exercises designed to further develop their writing
skills.
“Teaching staff and administration of the Rainy River District School Board are
committed to providing students with the foundational
tools they need to be successful,” said Casey Slack, Superintendent of Education. “There
are a number of literacy programs in place within our
schools to ensure that students
have the opportunities to develop literacy skills to be successful in high school and
beyond.”

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has introduced an
online incident reporting system called Citizen Self Reporting (CSR). This system is for
members of the public to report selected incidents via the
Internet. Using the Citizen Reporting system, specific incidents can be reported online
without attending a detachment or waiting for an officer.
The applicable calls for service which fall within the CSR
online reporting parameters include:
Theft Under $5000;
Mischief / Damage to Property Under $5000;
Mischief / Damage to Vehicle
Under $5000;
Theft from Vehicle;
Lost / Missing Property (including licence plates).
Do not use this system if you
have an emergency. If you prefer, you may still contact the
OPP by phone to report a
crime or have an officer attend.
The 24 hour OPP toll free
number is 1-888-310-1122.
To access the website, visit
opp.ca and click on the Citizen
Self Reporting icon. This will
take you to a secure link where
there are instructions how to
fill out the report.
